First Visit to Paris

I just love to start my visit to a new city with a run! There is just no better way to really get a feel for a city than when it is waking up and not full of tourists! Jean-Charles was an excellent guide through the streets, parks and sights of Paris. He had planned the perfect tour that allowed me to see the sights, get a feel for the different neighborhoods and learn about the rich history of the city. He took his time in explaining the sites and stopping for photographs. He also provided recommendations on places I could visit with my husband and friends later in the trip (many of which we visited). I would definitely recommend this tour whether you are a casual runner or an experienced runner.More

I ran 14 km in Paris with running guide Jean-Charles. He had planned an interesting route and told many interesting facts (and fun facts) about Paris. I can strongly recommend Paris Running Tours. It may seem a bit expensive, but it is actually worth it. A different and educational experience. If you travel to Paris without other runners, and find it a bit lonely to always run by yourself, a guide from Paris Running Tours will be positive company. I am glad I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried this.

My teens loved this run through Paris. More fun than going to a museum for them and they remembered sights and they could point interesting bits of history during he rest of our family's visit. Next visit they want to run again wiht Paris Running Tours and we hope to join them! I should add that Paris was in the middle of a heat wave and this was one of the few ways I could encourage my kids to go outside. The run was early in the morning so the heat was not much of a problem.

Did a running sightseeing with guide in the morning. 1,5 hours. We were giving two choises for running routes. We chose the right bank tour. A great way to get a quick introduction to Paris. Monuments, buildings, history, culture, people etc. together with some exercise.

The tour was performed in a pace selected by us. For us it was relaxed. 5.30-6.00 min/km. With frequent short stops underway where the guide elaborated on the monument, streets, parks, restaurants etc.

I recommend to join the running tour at the beginning of your stay. Then you have the option to spend more time on your favourites afterwards. At the same time you will instantly feel comfortable in Paris and its traffic.

My husband and I booked a running true with Jean-Charles during our stay in Paris last month. We love to run and thought this would be a great way to see the city, as we were first time Paris visitors. Jean-Charles met us at our Airbnb and had a unique route set from there. He took us by many points of interests and shared history, culture, and background as we stopped and admired the sights. This truly was so worth every cent. I wish every city had a similar experience. We would recommend to anyone and would love to come back and do a further distance!
